may i ask do u ever get the jag engines for replacement plse as it seems many do that if an engine is beyond repair

see in Japan when a engine fails JLR replace them at there expense , alas here in the uk they simply won’t admit there’s an issue

yes you can pick up sometimes low mileage jag motors (276dt for 2.7) running and driving looking for one myself every thing i have had is bottom end usually seized, oil pumps, bearings turn. i think if i keep the 08 i have i will find a low mileage running jag mot fail with service history would be great, service it timing belts, oil pump the one with issues sorted, cam chains upgraded tensioners, oil seals, i also check lifters, and check for general wear maybe over the top but i like to do thing once
